Hello everyone,
I want to invite you all to attend a symposium that I think will be 
of interest to you and your students. A group of German and American 
scholars will present a panel of papers titled Television and 
Popular Culture behind the Wall: Consumption, Adaption, and 
Transformation of Patterns of Western Popular Culture. The 
individual titles are
"Youth Culture and Popular Music in East German Family Series",
"The Subversive Power of Western Pop Music on East German TV",
"Popular Music on East German TV: Pop as Propaganda",
"The Shifting Sounds of Cold War Germany: How Broadcasters in 
Divided Germany Coped with the Challenges of new Aesthetics of Music 
Consumption in East and West Germany in the 1960s",
"Turntablerockers behind the Wall".
The abstracts of the papers and further details can be found by

in the first floor lecture theatre of the Centenary Building (HT109).
